I'm so pleased to hear that this has subsided for you Jassoscared.

It sounds like it was very difficult and painful to live with but it's so good to hear how much it has improved as time's gone on and hopefully it will not return.

I'm sure your feedback will really give hope and encouragement to those who are also experiencing this so thank you for sharing this with us.

Kind regards,

Hi Steph thank you

And yes it was really awful and so painfull I thought it would never go, I really did as I had it for nearly  year.  Its been a delight to wake up without having to massage and stretch my thumb to unlock it and stop it from clicking and locking ,doing this every morning was so painfull,plus I had and still do have an Impingement in my right shoulder and rotator cuff inflammation and atheritus in my shoulder where it joins my neck and as I have mild lymphedema in my right arm due to having all my lymph nodes removed ,and planta fasciitis in my left heel, which is excrucisting in the mornings too ,and  the fact that i can't have any steroid injections on my right arm or hand  to help ease the pain, it added to the difficulties I was  already facing each  day ,so I'm so relieved it' seems to have gone away now.

And yes it is nice to read positive things about conditions you may be experiencing and if the post helps anyone ,I will be pleased.  This site and all the lovely people who are on it ,really helps people to realise that having a serious illness  is hard,but you can get through it you really can. X

Hi, I finished my treatment in April but still have follow up treatment. I have just started with trigger thumb and it is very painful. I started on letrazole but this made my joints ache so my oncologist put me on anastrozole instead. I think I will mention this when I go back in August. I also have neuropathy in my feet caused by chemotherapy, if anyone can help with that I would be grateful.

I was on anastrozole but changed to letrazole as caused facial hair.  I have neuropathy in feet  and arm from chemotherapy. It is gradually lessening and I am getting used to it.  Now I  have trigger thumb which another post links to letrazole.  Still I reckon these side effects are worth having if these stop the cancer recurring.
